Answer:

he amount of heat gained by the water is 1.59 kJ    

Explanation:

Relation between heat energy, specific heat and temperature change is as follows

Q = mCΔT

where,    Q or q = heat energy

             m = mass

             C = specific heat  =4.186J/g°C

ΔT = (28°C - 25°C) = 3°C

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

Q = mCΔT

= 127 × 4.186 × 3

= 1594.86 J or 1.59 kJ    

Therefore, we can conclude that the amount of heat gained by the water is 1.59 kJ

If 0.896 g of a gas occupies a 250 mL flask at 20°C and 760 mm Hg of pressure, what is the molar mass of the gas?​
salantis [7]

Answer:

86.2 g/mol

Explanation:

Before you can find the molar mass, you first need to calculate the number of moles of the gas. To find this value, you need to use the Ideal Gas Law:

PV = nRT

In this equation,

-----> P = pressure (mmHg)

-----> V = volume (L)

-----> n = moles

-----> R = Ideal Gas constant (62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K)

-----> T = temperature (K)

After you convert the volume from mL to L and the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, you can use the equation to find the moles.

P = 760 mmHg                                      R = 62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K

V = 250 mL / 1,000 = 0.250 L              T = 20 °C + 273.15 = 293.15 K

n = ? moles

PV = nRT

(760 mmHg)(0.250 L) = n(62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K)(293.15 K)

190 = n(18280.834)

0.0104 = n

The molar mass represents the mass (g) of the gas per every 1 mole. Since you have been given a mass and mole value, you can set up a proportion to determine the molar mass.

\frac{?grams}{1 mole} =\frac{0.896grams}{0.0104moles}                                      <----- Proportion

?grams(0.0104moles) = 0.896                       <----- Cross-multiply

?grams = 86.2                                               <----- Divide both sides by 0.0104

What is the volume of an oxygen tank if it contains 12 moles of oxygen at 273 K under 75 kPa?
Zina [86]
Given:
n = 12 moles of oxygen
T = 273 K, temperature
p = 75 kPa, pressure

Use the ideal gas law, given by
pV=nRT \\ or \\  V= \frac{nRT}{p}
where
V = volume
R = 8.3145 J/(mol-K), the gas constant

Therefore,
V= \frac{(12\,mol)(8.3145\, \frac{J}{mol-K} )(273\,K)}{75 \times 10^{3} \, Pa}= 0.3632\,m^{3}

Answer: 0.363 m³

Design a test to determine whether thorium-234 also emits particles. First, explain how Rutherford’s experiment measured positiv
liubo4ka [24]

The characteristics of the α and β particles allow to find  the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the beta particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.

In Rutherford's experiment, the positive particles directed to the gold film were measured on a phosphorescent screen that with each arriving particle a luminous point is seen.

The particles in this experiment are α particles that have two positive charge and two no charged is a helium nucleus.

The test that can be carried out is to place a small ours of Thorium in front of a phosphorescent screen and see if it has flashes, with the amount of them we can determine the amount of particle emitted per unit of time.

Thorium has several isotopes, with different rates and types of emission:

  • ²³²Th emits α particles, it is the most abundant 99.9%
  • ²³⁴Th emits β particles, exists in small traces.

In this case they indicate that the material used is ²³⁴Th, which emits β particles that are electrons, the detection of these particles is more difficult since it has one negative charge, it has much lower mass, but they can travel further than the particles α, therefore, for what type of isotope we have, we can start measuring at a small distance and increase the distance until the reading is constant. At this point all the particles that arrive are β, which correspond to ²³⁴Th.

Neutron detection is much more difficult since these particles have no charge and therefore do not interact with electrons and no flashing on the screen is varied.

In conclusion with the characteristics of the α and β particles we can find the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the β particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.
